EadieB @Eggs Thanks! I think they get cuter by the day! lol 6y

Andrew65 Hope you‘ve got good washing powder 🤣 Great pictures! 6y

EadieB @Andrew65 Thanks! That's up to my daughter to get them clean! She just sent the pictures. 6y

Andrew65 @EadieB Thye are wonderful pictures. 6y

EadieB @Andrew65 My daughter has to lock the doors from the inside as Julian left the house on his own to play in the puddle. He was laying in bed with her and just got up and went outside. 6y

Andrew65 @EadieB Our youngest was just like that! 6y

EadieB @Andrew65 She almost had a heart attack as she thought he was sleeping next to her. Pretty scary! 6y

Andrew65 @EadieB Been there! 6y

EadieB @Andrew65 Chloe must be getting big too! Have you seen her lately? 6y

Andrew65 @EadieB Unfortunately only over Facebook and the regular videos they post. Lockdown means we can‘t visit her. 6y

EadieB @Andrew65 I know that's all I get too! Videos and pictures. 6y

Andrew65 @EadieB It means you miss out on so much of their development! 6y

EadieB @Andrew65 Probably won't be able to see my grandchildren until they come up with a vaccine and how long will that take? 6y

Andrew65 @EadieB 🤞 Have one ready for early next year but far from guaranteed, also have to hope they get a better treatment programme. Plenty of trials of both at the moment. One in Oxford talking about the ‘possibility‘ of a million vaccines by September. 6y

EadieB @Andrew65 Here's info about who in US is working on vaccines:

Here's info on Vaccine and Remdesivir that has been used to treat the virus:

Andrew65 @EadieB Thanks for these articles, always believed necessity is the mother of invention! Need to continue developing both, drug regime to help treat and lessen the impact, as well as vaccine. My worry is when we have to reopen schools which I think will be beginning of June. Keep talking about how affects children less but what about staff! (edited) 6y

EadieB @Andrew65 That doesn't make sense as children can be carriers. 6y

Andrew65 @EadieB Totally agree! 6y

EadieB @Andrew65 Just left a message for Carol as she can get a copy of Bolton's book here: https://archive.org/details/nationalemergencylibrary 6y

Andrew65 @EadieB Thanks 😊 The Steve Berry Book was also available here but no longer is. 6y

EadieB @Andrew65 That's strange but Peter May is live on FB:
